My Vision as a Teacher

Hello there!

As an educator, I incorporate inquiry and exploration in the outdoors as much as possible. I've come to realize that there is a growing need for more environmentally-conscious conversations like these in our everyday. Less humans are spending time outside in nature. This decreases opportunities to create positive memorable experiences, grow in nature-confidence, & form feelings of respect and stewardship. It's as if the state of the earth depends on it.. because it does!

I am to break barriers to environmental learning and outdoor spaces by bringing it to the students of my school district. 

Educational presentations, experiences, and activities that I create will allow students to enhance Next Generation Science Standard understanding. I hope to encourage students to form their own opinions based on their data intake and feel empowered to use their unique ideas to contribute to environmental sustainability in the community.
